Abstract
Systems and methods for providing zero-trust connectivity for Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) enabled user equipment include responsive to a device having a SIM card equipped therein connecting to a cellular network, intercepting traffic associated with the device traversing the cellular network; forwarding the traffic through a cloud-based system; and processing the traffic from the device according to policy enforced by the cloud-based system.
Claims20
A method comprising steps of:
- responsive to a device having a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card equipped therein connecting to a cellular network, intercepting traffic associated with the device traversing the cellular network;
- forwarding the traffic to a cloud-based system;
- and
- processing the traffic from the device according to policy enforced by the cloud-based system.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform steps of:
- responsive to a device having a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card equipped therein connecting to a cellular network, intercepting traffic associated with the device traversing the cellular network;
- forwarding the traffic to a cloud-based system;
- and
- processing the traffic from the device according to policy enforced by the cloud-based system.
A cloud-based system comprising:
- a plurality of nodes communicatively coupled to one another;
- and
- a cloud edge, wherein the cloud edge is configured to
- responsive to a device having a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card equipped therein connecting to a cellular network, intercept traffic associated with the device traversing the cellular network, and
- forward the traffic to the plurality of nodes.
